Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz extra-firm tofu pressed and cubed
  • 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika

  2. Thread the tofu onto skewers.
  3. Grill over medium heat 4 minutes per side until edges are crisp.

Notes

Press the tofu well so it firms up and won't crumble on the skewer.
